WATER AND FİBRE İN BALANCED DİET

Balanced Diet

The total of the nutrients that we need is called diet. A balanced diet provides all the nutrients in correct amounts, needed to carry out life process.

The Function of Water in Balanced Diet

Human body is 70% of water. Two-thirds of this water is in the cytoplasms of the cells.

Also the other third of water is in tissues and blood plasma.

Also humans lose about 1.5 litre of water per a day. This is because of feaces, sweat, exhaled air and urine.

A loss of 5% of water can cause unconsciousness,and a los of 10% of water can be fatal. So we should fill the loss of water by drinking something or eating friutty vagatables.

For men is roughly 3 liters (about 13 cups)

 For women is 2.2 liters (about 9 cups)
